I've found this to be the case also. It's so heavily gated that there's almost no point in bringing up a new project or tool because it will be batted down if I'm the one that wrote it.

HN doesn't have that auto-gatekeeping but has taught me to really soft pedal posts about my own stuff. When I've managed to present it as a useful thing and not just my thing, I've gotten significant and sustained lift here.

Amazon uses a warehouse storage "planning" method looks a lot like this. Items are placed on shelves based on proximity and empty space, not on what the items are.

This "disorganized" warehouse is faster for the robots to access as they simply memorize where each item was placed on arrival.

"Psychological warfare" is a bit of hyperbole and nothing in this short handful of paragraphs suggests anything so severe.

While I also dislike the "all white" look, I don't think anyone is pining for an avocado fridge and brown pile shag, 'cause we already had that.

I did read that link. It's very old. The server box (local) does offer the option to create a web stream, but you have to turn it on. It's no longer the default and even turns itself off after a timeout, so perhaps they responded to that story.

I was in the market for one of these for my new RV, but I went with Eufy, an Anker brand, because you run the server locally on an integrated box. They don't need a cloud service or subscription, so there's no need to trust them with your camera feed.

You always could. It's just slower and less efficient because most of what a model query needs to do is matrix multiplication and the GPU is optimized for that.

Inter is the new Helvetica (even though we already had Helvetica Neue).

What makes it insanely great in addition to readability is the variable weights from 100 to 900 in a single file, plus a huge range of glyphs.

Ghandi said you can judge a society by how it treats animals.

And to that we can add "and it's schoolchildren."

And to add insult to literal environmental injury, it's to be located in Texas, which is the country's largest producer of both solar and wind energy.

Instead, the company made a deal with a petroleum business to get their own natural gas pipeline, burn that gas, and emit more carbon than the EPA has ever allowed at any factory in US history.

All this for more AI? Really? How is that helping? Layoffs hurt people. Cutting social services like food and housing combined with unemployment leads to social unrest. A data center won't fix that.

And all of this while Amazon says they want to be "carbon neutral" by some imaginary future date. What a hell of a step backwards.

As an alternative, my TV Explorer has more than 10K free channels with no signups.[0]

It's a demonstration project for my Watson software engine, posted earlier. [1]

This one has been reliable for a while..

The real punchline here is saved for the end of the article. It has nothing to do with Temu and everything to do with dumbing-down the population.

If people get used to relying on free or cheap AI-generated content, their overall intellectual capacity and ability to act in the world will be lower.

Ampex was already no longer a known brand when I grew up as a kid in Silicon Valley. I had to wait to become an adult to find out what that giant sign out there had been for!

You've hit on it. Your own needs and experiences as a journalist are quite different from other users. It's very likely that good tooling for that audience is non-existent, and that might be worth writing or writing about.

To paraphrase Ansel Adams (who was speaking of cameras), "There is no one best tool for the job, only the best tool for the kind of thing you're trying to make."

Another way of saying it is that the world of software is so vast, from DIY homegrown to open source libraries to closed commercial apps that there isn't one "best" of any of it, or even 10 best.

I'd say your explorations will take you the furthest if you focus on a problem domain, learn all about it that you can, then find out what software exists in that problem space and whether or not the world would benefit from something new from you in that area.

What's wrong here is that Apple decided devs need their permission to install standard web tech apps on Apple devices.

Apple is anti-dev, pro control of the income stream, and only interested in supporting devs that are all in on the cult.

The fact that the dev made a web version with all the same functionality just proves we don't need an app store nor Apple to gatekeep it.

Where did you hear that? Ceuta is entirely surrounded by Morocco and all of the people who moved into Spanish territory in Africa for 30 minutes did so by coming from Morocco. The confusion surrounding the geography there is... confusing!

Crossing a breakwater and going home 30 minutes later does not make them legal EU immigrants. It was an overblown news story that only have been believed by someone who has never been to the region, like so much news today!

This is absolutely a case where you can't get any output that better than the input, and the input is you.

Geographically, they're not. Ceuta occupies a tiny corner of Africa. None of these people reached peninsular Spain and they are not migrants fleeing into Europe to live there.

HN isn't a job board per guidelines, but I know the game dev community would appreciate hearing about this through the ASGC community site:

I hate these kind of services and the businesses that use them.

Can we please have software that helps take good care of customers, not shovelware that treats customers like numbers to be passed off to an AI?

The idea of a scrolling window inside another scrolling window makes life difficult on mobile.

What this really makes clear is that you should neither trust people you work with nor share personal information with them.

Came here to say this! You beat me to it.

In fairness, MacOS, iOS, Linux, and Android were all derived from BSD.
